Feelin' Great and Potty Update

Recently a bunch of you through comments on the blog or just in general have asked me how I am feeling pregnancy wise.  So I thought I would post a pic (taken yesterday) of what I look like now at 33 weeks, and let you all know that I am doing great!  This pregnancy has been very similar to Caleb's, it has been overall a pretty easy time.  I have been blessed not to have many common pregnancy ailments like backache, heartburn, nausea, etc.  I am even carrying similar to how I carried Caleb...Rachel is pretty much popping out like a basketball! :)  Thank you all for thinking of me and for praying for the health of Rachel (and me) in this pregnancy!


Since Jason did a post of his Daddy/Son weekend, I thought I would post a cute shot from my girl's weekend in PA.  It was an amazing, refreshing and encouraging time, catching up with Kim, Diana and Nora (all friends of mine from PSU) over the weekend.  I had the opportunity to relax and have some "me-time," which was definitely great timing as we are preparing for Rachel's arrival.

And finally, although we do not think he is ready yet to be potty trained, we bought Caleb a potty this past weekend to give him a chance to get acclimated to it (and so that we would be prepared when he is ready to try it as well).  He was really excited about it!

The one and only time he will be allowed to put the potty insert on his head.  Haha!

Val,
So glad to hear that your pregnancy is going so well. You look incredibly beautiful (as always)! I wish I could say the same...I've experienced a LOT of heartburn and burning sensations on the top of my tummy. I think our little man likes his feet tucked into my ribs on the right side. =) But we only have 17 days left until he arrives, so I know it will only be a little while longer. God knew what he was doing when he created pregnancy...when it gets towards the end you're ready to be back to yourself again.
We miss you guys and think of you often!
Amy
